Three suspects were arrested following a high speed pursuit through Salinas Monday night, according to the Salinas Police Department.

An officer saw a silver Toyota with paper plates run the stop sign at California and East Lake streets and attempted to make a traffic stop.

The car fled throughout south Salinas and onto northbound Highway 101 where it reached speeds up to 100 mph before losing control and flipping several times near the Best Buy.

The suspects fled the vehicle on foot through the Best Buy parking lot and jumped a wall bordering the mall.

The Northridge Park apartments were searched with negative results, however, an anonymous person said they saw the suspects jump the wall towards Cuevas Circle.

Officers along with California Highway Patrol and Sheriff's Office set up a perimeter and a Salinas K9 Officer and others began a yard to yard search, eventually flushing the suspects out onto Cuevas Circle where they were arrested.

Parolee Jeremie Aguilera, 20; probationer Joseph Garcia, 20; and out on bail Oswaldo Ruiz, 20; all Norteno gang members, were booked into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of multiple charges.
